Number of participants who had discussions with iHCP regarding inhaler technique or adherence are reported.

Number of participants who received decreased dose of inhaled medication during the 12-week treatment period are reported.

Number of participants who received increased dose of inhaled medication during the 12-week treatment period are reported.

Number of participants who received different inhaled medication during the 12-week treatment period are reported.

Number of participants who received additional inhaled medication during the 12-week treatment period are reported.

Number of participants who received additional systemic corticosteroid medication for asthma therapy during the 12-week treatment period are reported.

Number of participants with different frequency of intervention to manage comorbid conditions such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and Sinusitis are reported.

The SUS was used to explore device acceptability and usability for participants in the DS group. It covered a variety of aspects of system usability, such as the need for support, training, and complexity, and thus giving a global view of subjective assessments of usability. It was a 10-question tool (with five response options; from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree) that provided a composite measure, ranging from 0 to 100, of the overall usability of the system being studied. Higher scores represent better usability level for the tool.

The BMQ was used to assess cognitive representations of medicine. The Beliefs About Medicines Questionnaire-Specific 11 (BMQ-S11) was an 11-item questionnaire that assessed the representation of medication prescribed for personal use and the BMQ-General assesses beliefs about medicines in general. BMQ concern is a 6-item scale assessing participant's concerns about potential adverse consequences (range: 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree). Participants indicated their degree of agreement on a 5-point scale, ranging from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree. Scores obtained for individual items were summed, divided by the total number of items and multiplied by 5 to give a total score ranging from 5 to 25 (higher scores=stronger beliefs).

The BMQ was used to assess cognitive representations of medicine. The Beliefs About Medicines Questionnaire-Specific 11 (BMQ-S11) was an 11-item questionnaire that assessed the representation of medication prescribed for personal use and the BMQ-General assesses beliefs about medicines in general. BMQ necessity is a 5-item scale assessing participant's beliefs about necessity of medications for controlling disease. Participants indicated degree of agreement on a 5-point scale, ranging from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree. Scores obtained for individual items were summed, divided by the total number of items and multiplied by 5 to give a total score ranging from 5 to 25 (higher scores=stronger beliefs).

The BIPQ was a 9-item questionnaire designed to rapidly assess cognitive and emotional representations of illness. Only one item assesses illness comprehensibility or coherence of illness (Item 7: How well do you feel you understand your illness?). This item was rated using a 0 (do not understand at all) to 10 (understand very clearly) response scale. A higher score indicates a stronger illness comprehensibility.

BIPQ was a 9-item questionnaire designed to rapidly assess cognitive and emotional representations of illness. It comprised 5 items on cognitive representation of illness perception: consequences (Item 1: How much does your illness affect your life? Response range 0 [no affect] - 10 [severe affect]), timeline (Item 2: How long do you think your illness will continue? Response range 0 [a very short time] - 10 [forever]), personal control (Item 3: How much control do you feel you have over your illness? Response range 0 [no control] - 10 [extreme amount of control]), treatment control (Item 4: How much do you think your treatment can help your illness? Response range 0 [not at all] - 10 [extremely helpful]), and identity (Item 5: How much do you experience symptoms from your illness? Response range 0 [no symptoms] - 10 [severe symptoms]). Total BIPQ Cognitive Subscale Score was the sum of all item score and ranged from 0 to 50. A higher score indicates stronger illness perception.

BIPQ was a 9-item questionnaire designed to rapidly assess cognitive and emotional representations of illness. It comprised 2 items on emotional representation: concern (Item 6: How concerned are you about your illness? Response range 0 [not at all concerned] - 10 [extremely concerned]) and emotions (Item 8: How much does your illness affect you emotionally; for example, does it make you angry, scared, upset or depressed? Response range 0 [not at all affected emotionally] - 10 [extremely affected emotionally]). Total BIPQ Emotional Subscale Score was the sum of above 2 items score and ranged from 0 to 20. A higher score indicates extreme emotional representation.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. SAEs included death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized the participant and required medical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. A summary of serious and non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in 'Reported Adverse Events module'. Number of participants with any AEs, treatment-related AEs, and device-related AEs has been reported.
